Case Reports

Tricuspid Valve Repair in a Mountaineer

Accepted for publication September 11, 1997.

Mr Marchbank, Oxford Heart Centre, John Radcliffe Hospital, Headley Way, Headington, Oxford, OX3 9DU, United Kingdom (e-mail: 100407.1052@compuserve.com).

Lord Hunt of Everest presented with aortic stenosis but predominant right ventricular failure. He was found to have signs of pulmonary hypertension with a dilated right ventricle, severe tricuspid regurgitation, and right atrial hypertrophy in the absence of elevated pulmonary artery pressures. He is a lifelong mountaineer and we attribute these findings to intermittent prolonged exposure to high altitude.
